Next In number are the Japanese, and here again not even a rough estimate can be mail* of their strength. They appear, regiment after regiment, and as fast as one consignment arrive* from Taku, those stationed here are pushed forward. The Ormans ro also active and are not slow In getting them In and to th* front.
